they do over eat so be careful and if he eats the feeder fish constantly, remove thim and put only 1/week

Yep, if you give into them all the time when they beg, thats another way they can overfeed and become overweight! Everytime Tanjobi begs, I have to look away, I usually give in otherwise! Embarassed
